Chapter 26 - The Breakup (1/2)

As we continued our conversation it turned into a really nasty argument. I tried to stay calm but my ego and self esteem began to shake. Not only she was putting all the blames on me but also she was looking down upon me. It was too much for my pride.

” Tell me when did I ever disappointed you? You're making a really big deal out of it Regina. I really wanted to meet you last week but Luke's dad was sent to hospital. I had to go there often to check on them before he was discharged from hospital.” I tried to explain it one last time but my words didn't went past her ears probably.

” Don't give me your stupid excuses. I'm done with this, I think now I know why you can't stay in a relationship for long. You are the reason why everyone leaves you. All you care about is for yourself! You and your damn ego!”

” That's not true-” Regina stopped me from completing my speech.

” Do you remember when's my birthday ?” Her eyes were fixed on me. They looked at me with sorrow and sympathy. Sadly I can't remember the date. I'm not a person to lie about stuffs so decided to give her the right answer.

” I- I can't remember at the moment. But I have celebrated your birthday last two years.”

” Yeah you did. Do you know what flower I like? Of course you don't that's why you brought red roses. I always liked white lily and even though we are seeing each other for two years you still don't know anything about me.”

I cannot look down the fact that she's right. All this time we never really got connected with each other. We we're just together in the name of so called 'relationship'.

” Regina I'm sorr-”

” Theo please! I don't think we ever loved each other. Just because we have common interests and we kinda a have same point of view in life, it's not enough to make a relationship.

Before this I only thought about settling my business and life so I didn't gave much thoughts about this relationship but now I can't continue this. If we don't go on separate ways I will be stuck with you. I think we should break up now. It's good for both of us.” Regina was calm and sad at the same time. I didn't had any idea what to say or do. I came here to apologise to her, to fix our relationship but now that she's asking me to leave her. It's just too much to shallow at once. After all I am a human. I may not show many emotions but in my heart I do feel them. I like to keep them to myself only rather than showing it to people.

” I never thought you were not happy with me. But I guess it's nothing new, I did have some hope with you since we lasted so long. But at the end of the day I failed, again. I can understand why, so I won't ask you much. This is where we say goodbye.” I let out a deep sigh with a heavy heart.

” Theo you're a good guy, one day you'll find some one to love and who will also love you back.” Its funny how she's trying to cheer me up after breaking my heart. The irony of this situation is quiet pitiful.

” You think so? If you ask me I think I'm better off myself.” I replied sarcastically.

” No. Don't be negative. You should rather stop jumping into relationship and find the one who makes your heart skip a beat, who is always in your thoughts, who cheers you up and makes your problems go away.” Some one who makes my heart beat faster? Who could that be. I guess girls do think mostly about romance and dreamy things and all. I don't have time for this. Right now I just feel like being alone.

Regina left without finishing the dinner. I didn't tried to stop her. She wants to cut ties with me. Fine then! Like it never happened to me before. As long I have my work I will be fine. I don't need someone in my life. I was little hurt since I never excepted her to break up with me. But now it's done and I'm sure I really don't have any future with romance and all.
